control the turtlebot/turtlesim in ROS using mobilephone sensors using "hyper imu " android app and udp protocol

i have just edited the keyboard teleop file so that it can be operated from android mobile

thank the original authors . look at the bottom of this page for links .

this code may contain so much unused code . because i was lazy to remove that . remove that if you want neat good looking code. or uset it like i dont care . also you can tweek this code so that it can work for hector quadrotor . do it if you want .

how to use this code

1. place this(mob_control) entire folder in ~/(your ROS workspace)/src/
2. build the package using catkin_make mob_control
3. and run the command "rosrun mob_control willtry.py" ( source the workspace if this is not working using "source devel/setup.bash")
4. run that app first and run this command .

how to initilize hyperimu app

1. just see your routers/computer ip address using ifconfig in linux
2. go to settings > select udp
3. and edit the ip address of target
4. and give the port number as 3478 or your own port.
5. set the sampling time low , 50 ms worked well for me
6. select the sensors from list of sensors
7. i have selected Accelerometer to control the direction
8. come back to app homepage and touch the round animation or whatever it is.
